Dear Simone:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I) in response to my following
previous list distribution;

> (03/22/07) John Eger's new essay on Power Shift for flattening societal
> structure
> http://tinyurl.com/27rlud

(2) Yes, I am sure that John Eger¹s ³Smart Community² concept can be the
basis of any community development ‹ see further info in the following his
paper;

> John M. Eger, San Diego State University
> "Athens in the Information Age"
> http://tinyurl.com/r78pk

This has a well written chapter on ³10 Steps to Becoming a Smart Community.²

Pls feel free to contact him for any further queries.

(3) When you will construct the community development networks, you may
follow the following proven cases, though Bolivia seems not to have
broadband Internet yet <RedCLARA Network-B.pdf> <http://tinyurl.com/22g6zo>;

> (a) Navajo Nation Network <http://tinyurl.com/22az3y>

>> (03/21/07) Possible creation of GUS/Palestine/Gaza Strip and Peace Gaming
>> http://tinyurl.com/2wmeyt

> (b) Telemedicine Project of Kosovo <http://tinyurl.com/3yl627>

(4) I once had communications on the possible creation of GUS/Bolivia with
Mrs. Muller of Universidad Privada de Santa Cruz de la Sierra (UPSA) in
Bolivia through the introduction of Dr. Lima of Peruvian For Applied Science
University in Peru (whom my wife, Hisae, and I met in Havana, Cuba before).

Should you have an occasion to visit Bolivia, pls feel free to follow-up
this subject with Mrs. Muller, since I haven¹t heard from her colleagues
since then yet.

Incidentally, the president of Bolivia visited Tokyo very recently and had a
good reception by the Japanese government.  He pledged to abolish war as
following the Japanese constitution.

Wishing you a very good luck to your work at the FAO in Rome and pls convey
hello to your family members in Milan from Hisae,

Best, Tak

> Dear Takeshi,
> I was very impressed by John Eger's work. I'm currently working on a case
> study in a network of municipalities in Bolivia, where we would like to
> develop a collaborative system to manage natural resources and support rural
> communities in their development and in the disaster risk management (due to
> climate variability and change). For this aim we would like to introduce the
> use of ICT tools between the stakeholders of the network. This tools could be
> very useful to monitor resources and receive informations over best practises
> and early warning messages.
> Do you think that the smart communities' principles could be applied in such a
> case? Maybe a case study in a Developing Countries could also be interesting
> for J. Eger's work itself.
> Hoping to receive your point of view.
> Thanks for your always-interesting e-mails.
> Best,
> Simone
